Dental Health Week

Dental Health Week, which takes place in the first full week of August, is the Australian Dental Association's major annual oral health promotion event. Its aim is to educate Australians about the importance of maintaining good oral health in every aspect of their lives.

It has three main objectives:

Promote oral health education and awareness in the general community

Motivate and educate dental professionals to promote oral health

Encourage ongoing collaboration within the dental profession

What we do

ADA NSW releases oral health resources for dentists, patients and the general public and hosts community events in support of Dental Health Week in the lead up to and during the event each year. Information is released through our homepage, the NSW Dentist magazine, Intheloupe e-newsletter and social channels. To find out about Branch activities, email communications@adansw.com.au.
